that's what I am gonna do!!!

hey @GunChleoc thans for the tips. I am actually a bit tired, it's been busy days. and I have gone throughout an application to toptal and other jobs which I didn't succeeded this time. and yeah, maybe I will find a job soon, and when I recover some sanity and energies, we will have some further mind-blowing contributions to 0 A.D. thanks for everything. by now I am needing some resting. I am extremely tired. cheers. tiago

these guys asked me for like a couple of audio assets about a year ago, because I had applied for their company. I didn't know who they were. but yeah. I didn't even remember of sending them the assets. but it looks like my game is on the credits of the game

my name on the credits of Turing test only checked this now (additional sounds: Tiago Morais Morgado)

one more contribution. now I will be uploading the variation of this track

two more contributions on the way 1_3-Audio.mp3 2_3-Audio.mp3

one more contribution 0002_2-Audio-1.mp3

here is the mp3 version of the previous one 0001_2-Audio.mp3

Most recent contribution hope you like it

and coolest thing, rather then costing. a fortune, it only costs around a couple of hundred dollars, so in mean time I will be able to buy this stuff

you sort of get an idea. these are really high quality samples, they turn out to work out pretty fine, they have already pre-builtin music phrases and gestures, harmonized for different root keys and pitch classes so the only thing I actually have to do is to sort of map them to simple harmonic progressions, and record the phrases I wish to get into the music. a really cool example can be found here in the following demo (a friend of mine has some of the sample libraries, and he will allow me to copy some of those by the end of the week, or put them in an ftp server)

i was researching on sample libraries and I found a couple of interesting ones, that will definitely speed up the process of composing tracks for 0 A.D.

in this latest contribution I tried to actually come up with improvements in relation to the suggested hints

in relation to recording instruments, it's a matter of running them throughout a sample library, just like someone else already did. @niektb if you can share some of your sample libraries that could perhaps speed up the process. and then I need to come up with better orchestrations, because this thing of tensions build up is all about orchestration (at least in this kind of music). from the moment that you have your 8, 16 or 32 bars of thematic material, it's just about making things work out in terms of: ok this instrument enters at bar 0, this and that one at bar 16, and bar 28 we have break, and we come up in bar 33 with this, this this and that instrument, and so on so forth up to the end of the music. but usually my starting point for a piece is material. in case of tonal music more like harmonies, and that in that kind of stuff, in terms of atonal music, it's all about rhythm and gesture essentially, in terms of electronic music it's all about sound design, and tone. and so on so forth. that is the reason why most of my music is actually pretty static and doesn't often develop in terms of form and so on so forth. but I think it's a matter of time to figure out these things. they come naturally you don't force them. and for instance in specific genres of music, I pretty much came around with pretty decent solutions

i will pay bigger attention to these kinds of details in my next contributions

not only in a clear and direct way, but also talking about things like density, periodicity, regularity, etc?

hey, @av93, thanks for the feedback. may you give point me out to specific suggestions, of how could my contributions better fit the standards of 0 A.D., talking about specific parameters like melodic lines conducting, harmonic conducting, rhythm, orchestration, counterpoint, form, and all these kinds of things? you may have your reasons to make your statement, but that's far more effective if you are able to specify exactly what is missing or wrong about my music, in order not to fit 0 A.D. that way, so that I may have a standing base in which I may eventually workout to eventually fulfill the demanded expectations of the community. looking forward. kind regards.
